5, QTI-I E NAUTILUSQE Prof. Morrison PROF. NV. S. MORRISON was elected the distriet's first superintendent on September 14, 1887, at a salary of 3,3950 per year, which was later increased to an even 31,000 on the condition that he move his family to Greenville. The first superintendent's faculty roster included seven white teachers and six colored ones, all of whom were to receive 5525.00 per month for nine months. The names of these first white teachers were Misses Sallie Dorroh, Mattie Marshall, Early, Nan lVilliams, Jennie Irvine, Eliza Powell, who formerly had operated a private school in the cityg and W. J. Thackston. The last-named Mr. Thackston was the first principal of the so-called higher grades in the Greenville district, being succeeded by a Mr. Slaughter in 1891. There was only one school building in the city upon the establishment of District I7 in 1886. However, in 1887, the first board of trustees erected two new struc- tures, Oaklawn school on Pendleton street, and Central school, site of the old high school building on Avenue street Cnow called Westfield streetj. These two new structures were completed in 1888. The site of the old Central school, which later became Greenville High school, was of great historical significance, as it stood next to the famous old Governor William Alston mansion. The governor's wife, Theodosia Burr, was the daughter of Aaron Burr, of dueling fame, who later was said to have been lost at sea after boarding a ship at Charleston. Prof. Morrison continued as superintend- ent of Greenville schools until the spring of 1891, or for a five-year period.
